After Te’o was unofficially timed at 4.80 in his second 40-yard dash, a shot of Ravens coach John Harbaugh shaking his head in the stands and mouthing "4.83" started trending on Twitter. Guess Te’o still can’t escape problems on social media.

To draft Te’o in the first round, an NFL team will have to put plenty of weight on its impressions of him when interacting with him one-on-one, and his senior season at Notre Dame. It will have to put less weight on his Internet girlfriend fiasco, his poor performance in the national championship game, and the fact he is simply not as athletic as some other inside linebackers in this draft.

Evaluating Te’o is a tougher call than third-and-10. Having sprinter’s speed is not a necessity for inside linebackers, and Te’o's superb on-field instincts shouldn't be overlooked. However, Te’o could have eased some concerns with a lights-out workout Monday. That didn't happen.

It’s still two months before the draft begins April 25, but right now Te’o looks like a player fighting to be a first-round pick, not a player guaranteed to be one. Think about it. Some teams won’t touch him. Some teams don’t need him at inside linebacker.

That leaves teams like the Buccaneers (No. 13), Giants (19th), Bears (20th), Ravens (32nd) among those with linebacker needs deciding if Te’o is worth a first-round pick. Saturday at the Combine, Giants general manager Jerry Reese said he was approaching Te’o with an open mind.

"We’re more interested in what kind of football player he is than anything else," Reese said. "We’ll bring Te’o in, and we’ll let him explain that situation for us. But again, I think there’s people with a lot more issues than this issue.

"We look at that stuff. But again, I think you can have too much information. You talk yourself out of good players because of what somebody said on Twitter and what somebody said on Facebook."

But what the stopwatch said about Te’o on Monday was not overly impressive. Te’o changed direction well in on-field drills Monday, but not having sheer speed could be seen as a liability in pass coverage. NFL offenses look for mismatches in pass coverage, and Te’o’s ability to cover mobile tight ends and slot receivers will be questioned. If Te’o falters in pass coverage, he could become a situational linebacker rather than a three-down linebacker.

"People have asked why he didn’t play so good in the Alabama game," said Vikings general manager Rick Spielman. "I don’t know the answer to that, but I’m sure there will be a lot of questions thrown his way."

However, Te’o isn’t being viewed right now as a player who will step into an NFL huddle and command instant respect from everyone and inspire teammates to play with more passion. That is an attribute he had at Notre Dame that may be lost at the NFL level.

"Up until this (Internet girlfriend hoax) story became public, he had a plus, plus, plus intangible grade," NFL Network draft analyst (and Notre Dame TV analyst) Mike Mayock said last week. "Was he going to become Ray Lewis? Could he galvanize a locker room? He had a huge intangible grade that would push his on-the-field grade higher. I think he’s lost all of that. At best, it’s now going to be neutral."

The inside linebacker picture is further clouded by the off-field problems of Alec Ogletree of Georgia, another top prospect who had a recent DUI arrest. Ogletree ran faster (4.62) than Te’o on Monday, but some scouts still view Ogletree as a greater risk than Te’o.

When Te’o arrived in Indianapolis, opinions varied widely on how good Te’o will be in the NFL, and whether he is worth a first-round pick. After Te’o’s four days at the Combine, those questions, and many others still linger.
